Text Cursor Width

Feedback Type:  Troubleshooting Report

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

The text cursor is nearly invisible in Write. Please suggest how to make it thicker, or fix it, as soon as possible! Using Windows XP, SP2: but its cursor set does not help.
You cannot get the Account Wizard if you download and run all at once. You have to go into the Windows "My Downloads" or wherever, and .exe from there in order to bring up the Accounts Wizard. This must be driving some people away from this otherwise solid program.

Text Cursor Width - BettyHopper

After deep searches on Mircrosoft's webpages, I found that its Accessibility webpage shows how to change the width of the cursor within the text line, and I have done so. It's working on this input, in My Computer files, etc. But it does not carry over to Mozilla Thunderbird. It is the perfect solution! Except for where I need it!! (This utility is standard on WordPerfect 6.1 DOS, which I use. So it's not arcane.)
Can you please find a way to mimic this utility?
Here's the MS web site:

This does not, however, affect the bug reported by others, in terms of where the cursor lands in composing.
Thanks!

why are you reporting a Windows issue in the Mac OS X section of versiontracker?

Text Cursor Width - Rick Deckard

Your comment is about using this on that trash called Windows. This site and forum are for Mac OS X programs, not Windows. I'm sorry, but your problem is not relevant here.
